Interesting, can this be a drop-in replacement for an older IBM M1015 SAS2008 setup (ZFS in linux) with so-called JBOD (i.e. passthrough)?

No, this is a hardware RAID card with an onboard SSD cache.

Not trying to resurrect a zombie thread, but does anyone know where to possibly get the later FW for these boards to support 4KN drives ? One of the 3 i picked up supports it but the other 2 just show the PDs as "Unsupported". The FW info on the card that supports 4KN is:

FW Package Build = 23.24.0-17
BIOS Version = 5.42.00_4.14.05.00_0x06010300
FW Version = 3.360.05-2811
Driver Name = megaraid_sas

Thanks !

If they're completely identical you might be able to dump the working one's firmware and update the other two? Their website sucks, so I gave up digging deeper.
